Definition

The dimension of measurement of resistance is:

$\mathsf {M L^2 T^{−3} I^{−2} }$


This derives from its definition as:

$R = \dfrac {\text {EMF} } {\text {current} }$


Also defined as

For systems which use electric charge instead of electric current as one of the fundamental dimensions:

$\mathsf {M L^2 T^{-1} Q^{−2} }$
